Manage Fee Types

Responsible Authority Local Administrators can define, edit and delete custom fee types to correctly record different types of fees paid by Applicant Contacts or guests to the Responsible Authority.

The Applicant Contact will be able to select from these different fee types when they make payments to the Responsible Authority via SPEAR. These different fee types can be identified in the bank statements by the three-digit code associated with them, or through the SPEAR Reports - Online Payments report.

NOTE: There are a number of default fee types that cannot be edited or removed by the Local Administrator.

A surcharge percentage may also be set from this screen if the Responsible Authority wishes to pass on the cost of debit card / credit card transactions to the Applicant Contact / guest.

All actions below are completed on the Manage Fee Types page accessible by Local Administrators in the 'Administrator' role.

1. Click the Add Fee Type link at the bottom left of the page; a new row will be added.

4. Click 'save & exit'.
